Feeling great..just so dang tired



Recommended Posts

Tuesday will make 6 weeks for me and I'm starting to really feel great! Hubby had foot surgery and is non weight bearing for a few weeks and I'm picking up the pace more and more..this upcoming week is about as jam packed as I could ever think of making it and...I'm so tired all the time! I'm happy don't get me wrong...probably the happiest I've been in awhile..just get so dang tired!! I'm getting all my Protein & Fluid in religiously. I did have another episode where I thought I would faint but fortunately I didn't this time but I called my dr. Go in fri when he's back in town and until then will see my PCM if these fainting issues rear their head. So...did anyone else experience this? I'm so tired I feel like I can barely make it through my day. I'm still using my Cpap so I'm not relating this to my sleep apnea. Idk.?

In the beginning I had the fainting spells. It went away. Then numb fingers took extra Calcium that solve that issue.

Have you checked your blood pressure?

I had this happen as well early on. Went to my pcp and my blood pressure was barely 90/60. Went off my hb medicine right away. Make sure you stay well hydrated too. Dehydration can make you feel faint.

No I haven't but that was something the nurse mentioned also it could be. I'm keeping a food log also to take

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
